By Matthew Stone<\/h6>\n
Hello. Geia. Kia Ora! We\u2019re entering the business end of the year here at Leaders HQ. Lots coming up on both sides of the business, and there\u2019s a lot of planning for 2023 well underway. Keep your eyes peeled for what\u2019s on the horizon.<\/h6>\n

With this in mind, don\u2019t forget that we\u2019re heading to Loughborough University (UK)<\/strong> on 20-21 September<\/strong> to explore all things Interdisciplinary Performance Support<\/strong>. The agenda is here<\/a>, and you can sign up here<\/a>. A few spaces left, and you\u2019ll be in great company. Any questions, give me a shout.<\/p>\n

For now, here\u2019s another collection of news, insights and stories from across high performance. Grab your brew, take a pew and enjoy the view!<\/p>\n

5 questions, answered<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Matt \u2013 have you got any recommended reading? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I do indeed. Our new Special Report, in partnership with Keiser, has been published, this time looking at \u2018The Female Lead: The Evolution of Athlete and Coach Development in Women\u2019s Sport\u2019<\/strong>. I\u2019m biased of course, but it\u2019s a brilliant and important read. Download here for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. What\u2019s the business case for women\u2019s football?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if you heard, but the Lionesses won the European Championships\u2026 but what does that mean for the women\u2019s game? Uefa have just released a brand-new, forward-looking and practical report that highlights the potential for growth in the European women\u2019s club and league game over the next decade. Take a look<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>What makes an effective organisation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are 10 research-backed principles<\/a> to guide you and yours.<\/p>\n

4. What do I need to do as a leader if my team is underperforming?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are seven tips<\/a> to get you started. Does the team need a major change? Here\u2019s how to get them on board<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. What else is coming up in the Leaders calendar in the next few weeks?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have the next instalment of our Leaders Meet: Diversity series on Monday 26 September at Meta\u2019s HQ, during our Leaders Week here in London.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s offering of the Leaders Meet Diversity Forum will look to bridge the conversation and impressions of today\u2019s leaders alongside the leaders of tomorrow, with a view to unpacking how the narrative and ideology around the D&I space should now be cantered on positive tangible outcomes demonstrating how the needle is shifting, via the purveyors and enablers across the wider sports business and neighbouring industries.<\/p>\n

Innovate to generate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone talks about the need to innovate, but how do you ensure that creative thinking is a way of life for each and every employee at your organisation? Here\u2019s a view from outside of sport<\/a> from Australian software company Atlassian.<\/p>\n

Psychology evolution<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you hear the name Ancelotti in football, you probably think Carlo, rather than Davide. However, the latter is making a name for himself alongside his father, Carlo, as a supporter of a new era of psychology within the sport \u2013 he shares his thoughts alongside a Leaders friend, Geir Jordet, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Front row<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very few get to live out and achieve their childhood sporting dream. If you do, there are undoubtedly a lot of ups and downs along the way \u2013 just ask Lauren Rowles, Paralympic Rowing Champion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Decisions, Decisions<\/strong><\/p>\n

To make better decisions, you need to break out of these patterns and see things differently, even if it is uncomfortable<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diversity, Equality & Inclusion \u2013 let\u2019s do something about it<\/strong><\/p>\n
